Hi,

Has anyone had any problems with Qmail relaying e-mails sent by Outlook or Thunderbird?

Thanks.

Jallard

Yes I have qmail on the server and when I use Thunderbird I get an error stating I cannot relay, something about Im not on the list of accepted clients, something like that. But that was with imap.

I switched to Outlook and everything works just fine.

Silly

I`am using Qmail and thunderbird and everything is fine.

You may want to make sure your setting are exactly the same. Sounds like you may not be using the correct username. Maybe you need to use the complete email address as a loign and you arent? This is just a guess. Let us know what you figure out.

Eveything is correct. So, I guess it's a mystery!!! I have also been told that Microsoft Outlook and Symantec have problems working with one another--that being in the form of bugs (and no known fixes)??? However, neither Symantec or Microsoft will acknowlege it. Nor will I pay for their tech support to find out.

We run netqmail (patched version of regular qmail) with the smtp-auth patch, and have no problems with people sending with anything.

Is it just a qmail installaton, or is it qmail+vpopmail? I'm not sure which software it affects, but there is (or at least used to be) a known issue where you need to use "%" instead of "@" in the authentication address with certain mail clients. I know Opera had the problem years back, but I'm not really sure what else does these days. Might be worth looking into.

This is what my network engineer is finding out:
Joe, the message I got with Tenth Tree is. Connected to the Server, Server fails to respond. So it's connecting successfully to the server with Server Authentication enabled but the server refuses to response to the request.

So, what does that mean?

He keeps telling me that it is the server on the other end--meaning that I am a web hosting reseller on someone else's shared server. But, he tells me that his server is working fine??????
